Cut moving costs without sacrificing service

Article Abstract:

Human resources professionals address the complex problems of employee relocation because companies need to have the right employees and skills in the right place. The personnel professional may have to handle the problems of shipping household goods, manage the cost and timeliness of a move, and deal with a deregulated moving industry. A cost-effective and high quality relocation policy should: establish a corporate relocation policy for cost control; structure each move to the needs of the individual employee; provide the employee and mover with plenty of time; encourage lower-cost, off-season moves; avoid storage in transit; shop for transit insurance; assess movers' discount policies; choose a reputable carrier; and consider the mental attitude of the employee and family.
